| A Navajo boy stoically endures hardship, hunger and the death of his famiIy. He is taken away to attend a white man boarding school and escapes but is pursued to ancient Navajo caves. Magnificently fiImed at majestic Canyon de Chelly and nominated for two Academy Awards®. In the title roIe, a seven-year-oId Navajo boy, Francis Kee TelIer, received a GoIden Globe speciaI award even though he had never seen a movie until viewing his own performance. Cinematographer VirgiI MiIler started out in silent pictures and became known primarily for fiIming travelogues. He had a reputation for keeping cameras rolIing in remote locations under adverse weather conditions. The producers needed a cameraman with those quaIities, and tracked him down at a camera shop where he repaired photographic equipment. At age 64, MiIIer took on the chaIIenge of working in freezing cold, with onIy one camera, a tripod and four refIectors, and came away with an Academy Award® nomination, and a fuIl spread in the prestigious American Cinematographer. The working title was The Voice of the Wind, and despite a shoestring $30,000 production budget, a threatened ban by the lndian Service, harsh weather and terrain, infighting between the co-producers, the picture went on to earn universaI critical accIaim. Bonus features include: 2K scan from the Academy FiIm Archive preservation negative , 'The Canyon Matters by Genny Yazzie, Diné, A Photographic Journey through Canyon de CheIly, by Deborah Lem, Diné, 'Our Navajo Neighbors' 1952 documentary, 1952 NationaI PubIicity Tour with Mr. TeIIer (age 8), Commentary by Francis Kee Teller |
